The 15th chapter…thanks to anyone who is still reading. I figured out how I'm going to end the story, but not how the plot will turn out…Anyways:

Disclaimer: I don't own any TV show or anything that pertains to a TV show, just my own characters and the plot which I came up with.


YYH's gangs' prov.

Unlike Kurama, the other 3 arrived in the middle of their first period, Leeoyasha's class. When they entered, she turned to face them.

"Hello boys. Is there a reason why you are late." She said with her usual smile. Yusuke grinned sheepishly.

"We overslept; out partying all night at this crazy club." Leeoyasha looked like she was going to laugh. The boys took their seats, next to Kurama.

"So, are we ever going to make our arrest, or are you always gonna stop us every time Hiei?" Yusuke said in a somewhat harsh tone.

"Calm down, you'll be making your arrest today." Hiei whispered back. Yusuke looked happier.

"So when do we move? Lunch?" Hiei looked at him like he was crazy and shook his head. "Why not?"

Hiei rolled his eyes. "Are you telling me that you want to arrest you teacher for another world in front of your peers?" he spoke slowly, as if hoping that might help drill it into the spirit detective's head.

"He has a point Urameshi." Kuwabara put in. Hiei continued with something Yusuke hadn't thought of. "How are you planning on getting her? Idiot here won't fight girls, Kurama is in love with her best friend, and I already said I'm not helping."

Yusuke opened his mouth to reply, but shut it again when he realized Hiei had a point. How was he gonna do it?

"So when does Yusuke make his move?" Kurama asked. "This afternoon we will be going to their house. Hopefully she won't put up a fight."

Kuwabara gulped. "What if she does put up a fight?" he asked. Hiei looked Yusuke in the eye, but referred to him. "Then unless you jump in, Koenma is gonna have to find a new detective."

All three heads went down, but Hiei continued talking. "As for today, act like normal as much as you can without drawing attention to yourselves. Kurama, don't stay after with a question and don't talk to Kai outside of class." Kurama nodded.

The group did as they were told. At lunch, they sat at the farthest table from the teachers, even though that was outside, practically on top of the parking lot. They nearly melted since it was hot to begin with and then the heat was coming back at them from the asphalt. Never the less, they did it like they were supposed to.

The day went by quickly. As soon as they got out of school, they headed for Spirit World, to see if Koenma had any updates. He didn't nor did Botan have any new gadgets for Yusuke to use against Hiko.

At first, the spirit detective wasn't so worried about his mission. But as time went by and he learned more and more about his opponent, fear slowly had been creeping up his spine. It shot up when he learned that Hiko was immune to spirit attacks.

"So what the hell am I supposed to attack her with!" he screamed at Koenma. Koenma only shook his head sadly. He didn't have a clue.

The group took off for Hiko's house, Hiei leading the way. He didn't go as fast as he had the first time. After seeing Maruhi at school, he wasn't so sure he was ready to face her again.

He pushed open the door and once again found nobody downstairs. Leeoyasha and Kai were playing checkers outside Hiko's door.

"Why are you guys out here? Why not play in one of your rooms, or downstairs at the dining room table?" Hiei asked, making both of them jump.

"Hiko said you would be coming. We're here to make sure you don't go in." Kai said, standing up looking down at Hiei with contempt. Hiei knew Maruhi had told her about last night.

"Yea…" Leeoyasha added weakly, standing beside Kai. Leeoyasha hated fighting and would rather party than throw fist around any day. Hiei looked at Yusuke.

"I already said I wouldn't help in any way in this arrest, so what are you gonna do?" he asked, making Yusuke feel slightly alone.

He stepped forward. "Please move out of the way." He said, feeling foolish. Kai shook her head, along with Leeoyasha. "Okay then," he said, taking out hand cuffs and putting them on both of them. "Kai and Leeoyasha, you are under the arrest for accomplishment."

Kai looked at Kurama as she walked past him and said with a slight grin. "Sorry Kurama, guess I'm gonna have to rain check on our date tonight." Kurama blushed and said that was alright.

Yusuke opened the door to find Auzrieal and Hiko arguing with a large and ugly demon. The demon was roughly 7 foot tall, had deep green skin and horns growing out of all parts of his body.

He almost interfered when Hiko rolled her eyes and said "Then we have no business together," and she slammed a dagger into his abdomen. Auzrieal caught the demon as he fell and with a glare blazed him away in flames.

The two girls turned away dusting off their hands when they saw Yusuke standing there, wide eyed and mouth opened. Up until this moment, he had never seen Hiko kill. It disturbed him, but he managed to pull himself together as he advanced, putting cuffs on both women. Luckily, they did not put up a fight.

He and the others took them to Koenma's, him holding on to Hiko and Auzrieal, Kurama holding Leeoyasha and Kuwabara taking Kai. Hiei had been expecting Hiko to be angry, but she kept her head down the entire way there, something very unlike her.

When arriving at Koenma's, he had them put Kai and Leeoyasha in one interrogation room and Auzrieal and Maruhi in two others.

When Koenma saw Kai and Leeoyasha in chains, he was surprised. "What on Earth are they doing here?"

"They wouldn't move out of the way." Yusuke replied simply. However, they all found that none of the woman were talking, not even Leeoyasha. Hiko however did throw some nasty glares at Hiei, but he kept quiet.

The girls were move to separate rooms for the evening.


Hiei's prov.

Hiei was tired. Despite it only being 6 in the evening, the day had totally dragged by. He didn't want to go home to Murkuro's yet, so he chose one of the interrogation rooms and put his head down on the table.

"Hello Hiei. Having a nice nap?" a familiar voice taunted. Hiei looked up and nearly fell out of his chair. "Hiko!"

She looked a little confused for a moment, but smiled and sat down across from him. "So why are you even bothering with putting me in jail? It's a complete waste of time; I can't die remember?" she said in a bored tone.

"They don't know that, and I'm not gonna tell them neither." Hiei responded. Hiko looked at him and he got a strange feeling on the back of his neck that something wasn't right.

"You're the only one of them that can kill me and you won't do that, no will you?" she said with a smug look. Hiei wanted to slap her.

"What makes you think I won't?" he replied harshly. Hiko laughed; a cold sound not like her.

"Because, while you may look me in here, I could always let it slip to some outside demon that if they wanted to take down the traitor of demons, then all they would have to do is kill one person. A certain ice maiden." Hiko's eyes glowed maliciously as she watched Hiei take in her threat.

"I'd kill you where you stand!" he threatened, standing up. Hiko chuckled darkly as she leaned back in her chair. "Besides, how would you get that information out? This jail is a Jagan free zone, even for one as powerful as you?" he asked.

Hiko looked at her nails as if bored. "I have my ways."

Hiei knew what was wrong with this scenario. Hiko didn't kill people with innocent souls, like Yukina. He reminded that to her.

Hiko tilted her head sideways. "You'll find that things have changed a lot since you've been gone."

Hiei regarded her closely and decided to try and call it as a bluff. "I don't believe you. You're lying."

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Do you really want to take that chance, and with your little sister no less?" Hiko smirked, knowing she had him where she wanted him.

"I'll let you dwell on my offer for a while. Come to me when you have an answer." She said coolly as she swept by him out into the hall. The fact that she could just walk up and down the halls freely when she was supposed to be under lock and key should've struck Hiei odd, but his worries kept him from noticing.

He didn't have to think long to figure out his answer. He went to find Maruhi.


Hiei and Maruhi's prov.

"I have an answer to your offer, though I must say this is a new low, even for you." He said as he entered her room.

Maruhi looked up at him with an expression that mixed suspicious and confusion. "What are you babbling about now?" she asked.

Hiei raised an eyebrow at her. Was she toying with him? "Just a few moments ago, you said I had to choose between Yukina's life or helping you escape."

Maruhi looked up in the corner where a camera resided. Instead of speaking to Hiei, she talked to it. "You know, being Enma's son and all, I really expected your tricks to be less pathetic than this. Then again, I suppose I should remember who I am referring to."

"Why are you toying with me!" Hiei yelled as he grabbed her by the shoulders, giving her a slight shaking.

"I'm not! I've been in this blasted room since you came and got me! Besides I don't kill innocence, you know that." She yelled back, her British accent coming out.

Hiei threw her away from him and she landed on the floor hard. He was almost out of the room when he heard her start coughing. "Oh, stop pretending something is wrong with you already. I know you can't…" he stopped talking when he turned around and saw that Maruhi was coughing up blood.

"Maruhi!" he shouted, forgetting to use her alias. In the back of his mind, he decided that it wasn't important since the camera didn't have sound.

Maruhi clutched his cloak with a shaking hand and said through pale lips covered in spots with her own blood. "Go to Shamii; make sure nothing is wrong with her."

Hiei nodded and left quickly. Before he went however, there was something he had to do. He went into the control room and punched the guard out of consciousness. He'd figure an excuse for that one later.

He took out the tape from the camera in Maruhi's room and watched it. It was as she said; Maruhi had been in her room the entire time.


Hiei and Shamii/Yoimaru's prov.

Hiei's mind races as fast as his legs on his way to the Western Lands. If Maruhi had been as she said, like the tape showed, who had talked to Hiei? Did he just imagine it? Was Yukina still in danger?

He shook his head in an effort to clear his thoughts as he rang the doorbell to the Western Lands Castle. A little lizard demon appeared and asked who he wished to speak to and what about.

"I need to speak to Lady Yoimaru, regarding her sister." He said. The demons eyes widened and he ran off quickly to fetch who Hiei requested.

Soon Shamii appeared. She looked a little like Maruhi, since both had red hair, but Shamii's was much shorter than her little sister's, being only shoulder blade length. She had black eyes and was shorter than Hiei by a small amount. She greeted him with a warm smile.

"Hiei, what a pleasant surprise. You wished to see me about Maruhi? Is she being impossible again?" she asked.

Hiei smiled. He wished that was all it was. He shook his head and looked at his feet. Yoimaru smile faded and replaced with concern. She placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Hiei, is there something wrong with Maruhi?" she asked in a quiet but urgent tone.

Hiei looked up and her and slowly nodded.


Furnico's prov.

Furnico watched in her room on the television a tiny Maruhi squirm in agony. It was her favorite show.

"Everything is going my way. Soon I'll show you Maruhi." As she flipped the channel, she spoke again to herself, relishing in the words. "One down, one to go."

On screen, an unknowing Kai was talking to Leeoyasha. Furnico's evil laughter filled the shadowed room as she figured out how she would get Kai.

"This time, I'll win."
